I’d bet far worse is said on the ice nearly every single game.

I like Zary and I think the Flames do too but there’s not enough spots for all the LHS wingers. The Flames bringing in Frost, I think, is telling as to their projection for Zary at C. At some point one of them or more, probably, is going to have to move. Even two-three years down the road you’re still looking at a group of Zary, Farabee, Basha, Posposil, Battaglia, Suniev, Gridin. Sure, they all aren’t going to make it but on the other hand the Flames, likely, will have more on the depth chart after another 2-3 drafts.

At the same time, there’s a clear need at LD. I suppose the question is, though, does Byram fit the profile. Maybe they would be better off pursuing Hague.

I would definitely give it a strong look and if it is one for one, I probably would. That said, I’d need to dig in on these character issues. Are they legitimate, or is it just misplaced rumours/speculation?

The Bo chirp was he told some guy in the dub that next year that guy would be working 9 to 5 and he’d be making 925K. Great burn actually hardly worth being branded as an attitude problem.
